Parents need to know that while Farscape isn't as violent as some other science fiction series, there's a lot of conflict seething below the surface. Just about every character is part of a race, faction, or army that has at least one mortal enemy -- and often more. Many of the episodes are structured around these conflicts, making anger and aggression a common plot device. Battles are frequent and lead to injuries and loss of life. Watch for some occasional iffy language ("hell," "piss"), rare drunken behavior, and some sexual tension and cleavage-revealing clothing. Some of the aliens' extreme appearances might frighten younger kids.
